Riverdell, the Skipper of Otters, most commonly referred to as Skipper Riverdell, Skipper, or Skip, was a big, dark-furred otter, with sable fur. He and his otter crew ad been roaming around Mossflower Wood, taking the River Moss. His crew had told him that in a cave, they heard talking, and since they didn't know what it was, they ran off.

"Well, so ye need me to help ye find out which beast is in that there cave." he said with a sarcasticc tone. " An' I thought I was the Skipper of a tough ol' group of otters. Well, come on now, we best be seein' what's it is." He took his sling and walked with them to the cave where they said they heard the noise. He walked in with them. "I don't hears nothin',mates. You probbly was just hearin' the wind." Just then, they heard was sounded like somebeast muttering. Riverdell walked closer to where it semed to be coming from. It was not the wind alright. "Who be there? Come out here if'n ye knows what's good for ye!" he called out into the darkness. Suddenly, some beast jumped on him. It tried biting the otter, but he took the stone in his sling and brought it down hard on the beast's skull. It fell over. "Did ye kill it, Skipper?" one otter asked. "No, I didn't kill it. Why, we don't even know what this beast is." he answered. "Now, c'mon, tie this beast up tight an' bring 'im back to our camp."

Back at camp, they saw what it was. It was wearing a green cloak with an ash stave, and had reddish-brown fur with a whitish belly. "Looks a bit like a weasel." one otter said. "No, it looks like a ferret, or a wearet." one answered. "It also looks like a stoat." another said. "Yes, it looks like a weasel, a ferret, an' a stoat. So, unless it's got another name, or ye got a better idea, it'll be called Wearoat." Riverdell said officially.

Once it woke up, it was kicking and biting.
